It seems like whatever you do these days you're stomping on someone's rights, or if you've even received help from somone, you might have had your rights impeded on. Regardless, all it takes is a good lawyer and someone could be collecting money if you look at them the wrong way.
I myself don't understand why everyone is so sue-happy these days. Why everyone believes that they're owed something for even the smallest things. I'm not about to sue McDonald's for millions because I got fat eating there, or sue my neighbors for $8 million dollars for having pink flamingos on their lawn. Hell, I never collected the money that was owed to me in the Music Industry CD Settlement.
Recently I've seen quite an influx of commercials on TV advertising for people to call and get information to join class action lawsuits for different reasons. "If you've been exposed to asbestos..." and "Have you had, or plan to have surgery for carpal tunnel..." The ads complete with, "Call and listen to our 24 hour recorded message."
Now, these cases may be a little more legit than some, but who has the time on their hands to listen to such a long message? :P
